The next revision of ISO 22000 is due 2017

ISO 22000:2005 Food safety management systems -- for any organization in the food chain was first published some 10 years ago and reviewed without changes in 2009. However, following a recent meeting of the ISO working group (ISO/TC 34/SC 17/WG 8) it has been announced that the standard will be revised with a target publish date of 2017.

The need for change was highlighted by a 2014 consultation among users of the standard which identified some gaps, confusion and repetition that required some clarification and improvement. The consultation also concluded that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were not sufficiently integrated and the understanding of risk evaluation still needed to be improved.

In addition over the past 10 years (since the first version of ISO 22000) many new challenges have emerged in the food chain spurring the need for the standard to be revised.
